I ended up waking up alone the next morning. At first I was a bit let down since I really liked waking up cuddled into them. There was a note next to me though that said something came up with someone who had broken some laws that needed to be dealt with. I was sure that that problem would have had to come up not too long before I woke up since they were still gone. I was also sure that the thought of only one or two of them dealing with the problem never crossed their minds. They were the three Volturi rulers after all, and I could completely understand all three of them needed to make a presence. I knew that with them being the rulers and not needing to sleep, it was very possible that things would come up at night that they would need to deal with. So, I wasn't at all upset waking up alone in bed. What I was thrown off of was that I didn't actually wake up alone in my bed.
"You are such a mumbler when you sleep talk; I couldn't understand anything you said." Heidi said with a pout.
The tall vampire was sitting on one of the chairs in the room; a chair that she had moved to be a lot closer to the bed. I wasn't expecting Heidi to be in the room when I woke up. The only good thing I could see coming from her being here was that I now knew that even though I had apparently talked in my sleep last night, I didn't actually say anything.
"What are you doing here?" I asked as I tried to wake myself up.
"I got bored waiting outside, so I decided to come and wait for you in here."
It would figure that Heidi was the one who not only caught me attempting to say something in my sleep, but also would get all creeperish and decide not to wait outside like Jane would. Jane may not like to talk to me a lot, but she definitely respected privacy.
"Now that you're awake, I don't need to wait any longer." Heidi said as she stood up from her seat. "I was told to tell you that breakfast is ready in the garden when you're ready and that Sulpicia is there waiting for you."
"What time is it?"
I slowly stood up and even more slowly, started to remove the covers from on top of me so that I could start to pretend to get out of bed.
"It's breakfast time, or at least it was a couple hours ago when Gianna actually first started to make your breakfast." Heidi said with a teasing smile. She was definitely bating me, but I had no idea what for.
I quickly got out of bed, disappointed that I was late for breakfast and that Gianna had to make everything herself. Also, because I was late, there was a good chance that the meal wasn't good anymore and it would be wasted.
"I can't believe I slept that late." I said as I scrambled out of bed and started to make my way towards the bathroom so that I could take a shower. I was happy to be lucky enough that I only tripped once and it was because the stupid blankets from the bed got tangled around my legs.
Heidi only laughed as I made my way to the bathroom so that I could very quickly get ready. It took me only about half an hour to get completely ready because I rushed through everything; I didn't even fully dry my hair, I actually only put it up in a still wet and very lazy looking bun.
"She's in the garden right?" I asked as I walked out of the bathroom and spotted Heidi lounging on the now made bed.
"Yup, follow me and I'll take you to her."
Heidi bounced off her chair and speedily walked to the door and held it open for me.
"After you, madam." Heidi said with a smirk. I chuckled when she comically bowed in a very flamboyant manor.
"Thank you." I said as I passed her into the hall. "Do you know where the other two are?" I asked after Heidi closed the door and we started walking down the hall.
"Of course I know; Athenodora is in the library and Didyme is walking through the halls talking with Demetri."
I couldn't help but feel a little let down about those two not joining me for breakfast. I shouldn't expect them to join me every morning, especially since they don't eat, but I couldn't help but feel a little sad about not having all three of them join me. I shouldn't get used to the idea of them three of them always being with me; not only was that insanely clingy and I didn't want to be that way, but also they were rulers and they would have other things they needed to take care of. I would have to just accept that even though I couldn't be with them all the time, we would always be each-others number one priority; which I was more than okay with.
The rest of the walk was spent with banter between the two of us, Heidi more than happy to through her fellow guard members, particularly Felix, 'under the bus' for us to make fun of. Of course we didn't make fun of the other guard members in a mean way, just little things that Heidi and even myself of some, were sure the others wouldn't get offended by. Especially since everything we said were lies.
Once we were at the garden, Heidi said that was as far as Sulpicia wanted her to go. So, Heidi gave me very simple instructions to get to a different part of the garden that I hadn't seen yet. This part, according to Heidi, had a small gazebo that Sulpicia had set up my breakfast on. The more time I spend in this garden, the more I realize how much time Athenodora had spent into making this garden into something that was like a little get-a-way spot.
I eventually found the tall, white gazebo that Sulpicia was standing at the base of the three steps that lead to the elevated gazebo's area.
"Good morning dear; did you sleep well?" Sulpicia asked as she walked away from the gazebo to meet me.
"I did; is it still morning though?" I asked as Sulpicia wrapped me into a hug that, even though prior to Italy I wasn't really a fan of hugs, I was more than happy to be in her embrace. "Heidi wasn't very clear on the whole time thing." I added as Sulpicia pulled away to lead me to where a nice and non-extravagant breakfast was set up.
"It's only about nine o'clock; still early enough for breakfast in my book." Sulpicia said as she had me sit on the bench. Sulpicia then sat on the bench opposite of me and gestured with her hands for me to start eating. "We are going out today Bella." Sulpicia said as she rested her head on her clasped hands that were propped up on her elbows on the table.
I knew what Sulpicia was really saying. She was saying that she was going to kiss me today. I also had an inkling that we might go beyond kissing; which would explain why Sulpicia had wanted to put so much effort into getting our first kiss. If we did end up moving beyond kissing, I could whole heartedly say that I was actually comfortable with that. I would even say that I wanted it. I could easily see myself moving forward into a more physical relationship with them and they have made it more than clear that vampires were very physical creatures; especially with their mates.
I was looking forward to see what Sulpicia had in mind for today.
"What are we going to do?" I asked in between bites.
"Well, first, we are going to visit some historical sites. You have expressed interest in seeing these tourist places and I want to take you to see at least some of them."
I felt myself practically glow with excitement. Italy was filled with history; so much so than the United States because of the vast age difference between the two countries. I may not be a big history fanatic, but I could definitely appreciate it enough to at least want to see the ancient sites.
"Then lunch; I'm guessing?" I asked with a smile. I could already tell that there was no way I wasn't going to kiss Sulpicia at some point during this excursion, or date rather, that she had planned. I was looking forward to it.
"Of course; we'll go to a little bistro that, from what I understand, is very good. Then afterwards, we'll come back here to watch a movie of your choice." Sulpicia said with a grin.
There was something she wasn't telling me. I knew she practically laid out the entire plan for the date that would apparently take up the whole day. I knew she didn't leave anything out, aside from dinner which I was sure that it would either be a romantic dinner with just the two of us, or a regular dinner with all four of us.
"That sounds like we're going to have a lot of fun."
"Oh, I plan on it." Sulpicia purred, making me think even more about how she more than likely had something planned that was going to either really amazing or really annoy me and amuse her.
"Where are we going to go?" I asked, choosing to not voice my thoughts on Sulpicia's tone.
The rest of breakfast was spent with Sulpicia giving me very vague information about where she planned on taking me. She told me that I was going to love where we were going and that she could guarantee I had never been to anything like it before. That was the point of the morning I rolled my eyes and huffed in annoyance at the ancient vampire, at which she only laughed. Once I was done eating and Sulpicia was done teasing me, we left the garden area with Sulpicia saying there were plenty of guards around that she would have clean up my breakfast mess.
Since we had left the castle, I spent the rest of the afternoon and part of evening in complete awe. Sulpicia had picked some amazing places to go and visit. A lot of the places we had visited were outside; luckily the entire day was completely overcast so we didn't have to worry about the sun. Sulpicia had Jane and Felix go with us, but she made sure they were always so far away that I couldn't see them; so as far as I was concerned, a lot of the time we were alone. Apparently this was the 'off season' for tourism in this particular part of Italy. There were still people around, but nearly as many as I had thought there would be.
Sulpicia had taken me to Palazzo Viti, a couple museums before driving us out to the country side to see Teatro Romano where she had a picnic waiting for us; or for me really. From there we went back into the city and visited a few more museums and ancient architectural wonders before we went back to the castle after it was dark.
Even inside the castle though, the tour of ancient Italy and its' wonders wasn't over. Sulpicia took me to a few of the older places of the castle that they rarely used simply because they had no need for it. There were a lot of paintings that she seemed to enjoy discussing. It seemed as if the only things updated in this part of the castle, was the heating and some lighting. But, even most of the light came from candles that Sulpicia had lit quickly as we moved from room to room. Everything was cleaned, thankfully, but it all seemed as if just yesterday people from a thousand years ago had just lived here. The bedrooms were all made with furniture and left behind clothes. It was a perfectly preserved part of history that many archeologists, historians and the sort would love to get ahold of to examine the secrets held here.
After exploring some rooms and Sulpicia making several promises that I would always be allowed to explore this area whenever I wanted to, she took me back to the garden, to the gazebo for dinner. Off to the side of the gazebo, right on the line of the shrubbery that circled the area, Heidi, Alec, Demetri and Felix were dressed up to the nines and each playing an instrument. They were a quartet playing soft background music that added to the romantic setting Sulpicia had set up.
The gazebo was lit up with just the right amount of lights that were strung all over, twinkling as each light slowly flashed on and off to its' own pattern. Inside the gazebo though, it looked so much more elegant than earlier this morning. There was a table cloth, covered dishes and what I thought to be wine being kept chilled on the side.
I couldn't help but look down at the clothes I was wearing and felt more than a little underdressed. The only thing that kept me from actually saying anything was that Sulpicia was still dressed similarly as me. Sulpicia was leading me towards the bench so that I could start on dinner, but just after taking the last step up the gazebo, I stopped moving, also making Sulpicia stop moving. She was explaining what there was to eat; apparently she had ordered a full course meal for tonight with a wine that was paired perfectly with the entire dinner.
"Sulpicia." I said once I had her attention on me.
She turned fully around and wrapped her arms around my waist. She didn't pull me into her, but I knew that her arms around my waist, was an open invitation to do so myself, so as I put my arms around her neck, I walked as close to her as our bodies would allow. I leaned my forehead against hers and couldn't help but relax into her as she finally pulled me into her.
"Yes, my dear?" Sulpicia asked in a husky tone.
There was still that annoying, knowing smirk on her face. She has had that look all day. Even though it hadn't bothered me before, aside from I didn't know what she was smirking for. Being this close to her though, I hadn't really be this close in such an intimate matter all day aside from the occasional hug or her arm around me waist as we had walked around, it all clicked. Thinking back about what she had said earlier and that annoying smirk, it all made sense now.
"You aren't going to let me kiss you yet; are you?" I asked as I tried my best to not pout as Sulpicia's smirk grew.
"Of course not." Sulpicia answered as one of her hands slipped under my shirt. She had her thumb gently rum circles on my skin and it was definitely killing me that I wasn't kissing her. "When you kiss me, I don't want to have to stop." The shiver that went down my spine was instantaneous. As quick as I could move, I tried to attach my lips to hers. She had spent all day wooing me, all day she had flirted with me and kept me close but nearly close enough. All I wanted at that moment was to kiss my queen, the one I hadn't kissed yet.
I tried to kiss her because I needed to, but, tried would be the key word.
She moved her head to the side and instead allowed me to kiss her cheek. When I pulled back with a pout, she chuckled at me and kissed my cheek in return, which made my pout disappear into a small smile. It wasn't exactly the kiss I had wanted, but it was something.
"Not yet my dear." Sulpicia pulled completely away and pulled out the chair that was placed at the end of the table. It clearly wasn't part of the gazebo's stone bench and table; I was sure it was added for my comfort since the chair looked a lot more comfortable than the stone bench. "Why don't you start on dinner?"
"Bully." I muttered under my breath as I took my seat. I had definitely heard Sulpicia chuckle at my immature name calling, but I was sure that I had also heard Heidi and Felix chuckle as well.
Dinner was spent mostly in silence as I enjoyed the delicious food and we both enjoyed the music. The only comments that were made was my own about how good the food was and comments we both made about the different places we had been today. Sulpicia had also said that the three of them were more than happy to take me out more often, probably at night so that they wouldn't have to worry about the sun since today's weather probably wasn't going to happen very often, and show me more of what Italy and surrounding countries had to offer.
Once dinner was done, a guard that I hadn't met before, if I remember correctly, Sulpicia said his name was Santiago, but I wasn't really paying attention since I was so transfixed on the beautiful music being played. After dinner, I had moved to the bench Sulpicia was sitting on and cuddled into as we each listened to the music. I had tried, twice, to kiss her, but each time she moved with a chuckle so that I would only kiss her cheek. It was frustrating.
After an hour or so of listening to music, I was practically falling asleep against Sulpicia, so she suggested I go to bed. I didn't really want the night to end, I really was having an amazing time just simply cuddling next to Sulpicia, but I was getting very tired, especially after all the walking we had done today. I had only given in to her suggestion of going to bed so easily because I knew, without a doubt, that I could cuddle with any of the queens anytime I wanted to. I remembered that even though tonight's date was ending, there would be plenty more because I lived with them and the queens all loved to show off and one-up each other. I wouldn't be surprised if Dora or Didyme were going to take me out within the week to try and out-do Sulpicia's date.
When we arrived at my room, Sulpicia followed me in, this time without asking. I was more than happy that she had followed me in. I had actually almost asked that we go to her room instead of mine, but at the last second, I had decided against it.
"You know, it's usually customary that the first kiss takes place after the first date." I said as I moved to get a pair of pajamas that were laid on my bed. "You could even say that it's tradition." I said as I turned back around, pajamas in hand.
I gasped at the sudden proximity with Sulpicia and had dropped the pajamas to the ground. Sulpicia was so close that I could feel the cold from her body, but she was just far enough away that I couldn't actually feel her body against mine. She slowly raised her hand and with the very tips of her fingers, she lightly and very slowly grazed my cheek. She gently cupped my cheek once her fingers rand out cheek and I couldn't help but lean into her touch. I instantly closed my eyes as I felt her other hand cup my other cheek. Her thumbs started to rub small circles and I was sure that if I could, I would be purring.
"I would hate to break tradition."
The husk in her voice caused me to open my eyes and I was happy, excited and nervous about what I saw. Her eyes were much darker than they were not too long ago. They also held a look of hunger. I wrapped my arms around Sulpicia's waist and pulled her into me; that was all the invitation she needed.
She clashed our lips together into a bruising kiss. Sulpicia wasted no time in pushing her tongue into my mouth and taking control of the kiss. There was no question that Sulpicia fully intended to dominate the kiss and what was to come; I was more than happy to give the lead to her.
I felt her gently push forward, causing me to take a step backwards. She kept her gentle nudging, all with just her body, until I hit the bed. Sulpicia finally pulled back and laid kisses trailing from the corner of my mouth, to down my neck and back to my mouth where she paused.
"I will only continue with your permission; but be warned, I do not intend to stop until you cannot move anymore."
I knew full well what she meant. I knew where the kiss was headed when it first started. I didn't need to think about it. I wasn't worried about it. I was nervous, simply for my lack of experience, but I knew that didn't matter to Sulpicia. The look in her eyes, her now black eyes, held nothing back about what she meant.
"I want the others –."
That was all I could say before Sulpicia had her mouth on mine again. My eyes slammed shut as I gripped Sulpicia closer to me. I had thought she was going to push me back onto the bed, but instead she pulled me forward barely half a step. As she moved her mouth away from and started to once again trail kisses in whatever pattern she fancied so that I could catch my breath, I allowed my eyes to open.
Didyme moved to sit behind me and I could feel her hands on my waist as she pulled me to stand in between her legs. Her hands were quickly under my shirt and were soon joined by another pair of hands. One of my hands had found its' way to Sulpicia's hair but the other was moved to Dora's waist as she joined Sulpicia in front me. Dora's hands joined Didyme's under my shirt and they both caressed any skin they could reach.
Dora was giving me an intent look, almost like she was waiting for me to say something, but with Sulpicias' mouth still at work, I couldn't a single sound out of my mouth. As Dora continued to stare at me, Sulpicia seemed to change tactics. Instead of trailing kisses, she started to literally suck and gently bite my skin. The sensations from Sulpicia mouth were so much that a moan escaped my mouth from how much pleasure I was experiencing. Dora and Didyme seemed to take that as the sign they were waiting for and removed my shirt. Instead of lifting the shirt off of me and throwing it to the side like I had read in a lot of the romance novels I had read, they ripped the shirt so that Sulpicias' hands that were still cupping my face didn't have move.
Didyme wrapped her arm tightly around my waist and pulled me with her up the bed. Didyme pulled me all the way to the head of the bed where she kept me between her legs but didn't pull me flush against her so that she could continue to kiss the back of my neck and run her hands up and down my back. She just barely allowed her nails to scratch my back, not enough to hurt but just enough to give pleasure.
Dora and Sulpicia had watched Didyme pull me back and once we were at the head of the bed, the two started to strip. I had never once thought I would enjoy stripping, I had just never understood how it could be a turn on. As I watched Dora and Sulpicia slowly and sensually strip down to their underwear and then slowly crawl towards me, I fully understood how stripping was amazing to watch.
Without saying anything, both ancients in front of me grabbed one of my ankles, the closest to them, and pulled me down so that I was almost lying flat on my back. Didyme moved with me, but not in the same way. Instead she used vampire speed to be just in her underwear and moved so that she was kneeling with her knees on either side of my head. Before I could voice any complaint about not being able to have a show, she attached her lips to mine. My hands flung quickly to the back of her head.
Everything seemed to moving so quickly; I assumed because the queens knew exactly what they were doing and what they wanted. They didn't show any hesitancy with their actions, it was almost as if this had all been planned; but I knew better. They were running mostly on instincts right now and I was sure that they had to fight their instincts to move at a slower pace since they knew I had never done anything like this before. They moved slow enough so that I could enjoy everything, but fast enough so that I didn't have time to feel embarrassed about anything.
As Didyme attacked my mouth and I less than gently scratched my nails that had just moved to her back, I felt hands on my jeans. I felt the button torn open followed quickly by a slow ripping sound that singled the queens didn't have any patience. As the jeans were pulled fully away from me, I felt my shoes also being removed. Didyme moved her mouth away from mine and started trailing kisses in a similar pattern as Sulpicia had earlier, finally giving me a much needed breath that I hadn't realized I needed. All four of us were now just in our underwear and for the first time since I had been around vampires, I didn't feel self-conscious at all. There was no way I could feel that way with how the queens were treating me.
Sulpicia and Dora both stretched out their bodies, I could literally feel every part of them as they moved, so that their heads were next to mine and Didymes'.
"Mine." Didyme said as she released my neck from where she had been, unbeknownst to me since I was focused, with my eyes closed, on feeling the other two, sucking on the very front of my neck. I knew there was going to be, if not already, a large bruise there.
Didyme sensually licked the spot before moving her head away; allowing Dora and Sulpicia attached their lips to either side of my neck and sucked much like Didyme had. Not wanting to be left out, Didyme re-attached her lips to mine as her hands somehow snuck under Sulpicia's and Dora's bodies and gently raked her nails up and down my sides. Dora and Sulpicia each had an arm around my waist, gripping me as tight as they could without hurting me, and the other was used to prop themselves up so that they weren't completely lying on me. My hands couldn't seem to find a place to stay put. My arms were somewhat awkwardly moved at some point so that they weren't pinned down by Dora's or Sulpicia's bodies, but were still underneath said bodies, so I didn't have room for my hands to roam like they seemed to want to do. I had to put up with only being able to scratch at their backs and Didyme's head, what I could reach of it at least.
"Mine." Dora said as she finally pulled away from my neck after licking it a few times. She moved into a kneeling position so that she was on her knees, straddling my leg and had her head bent dangerously close to my sex.
"Ours." Sulpicia said after she released my neck. Instead of licking it like the other two had done, she gently blew on it at the same time Dora started to trace patterns up and down my thigh, getting dangerously close to my sex. The new sensations from Dora and Sulpicia, combined with all their proclamations and Didymes' tongue still in my mouth, I was overwhelmed.
Sulpicia moved into a position that copied Dora's, only her hands were playing with the waist band of my underwear. Didyme released my tongue as she slightly lifted her head away from me so that I could see all three of them.
"We've thought a lot about this." Dora started.
"Since the day we first met you." Didyme added.
Their hands stilled as I was left gasping as I tried to catch my breath from Didyme's kiss. I was also slightly wriggling as I tried to get them, somehow, to start moving their hands again. I wanted to feel their hands moving along my body again. Didyme held my hands on the other side of her legs so that I couldn't even touch them. I was forced to give them my undivided attention when all I wanted to touch them and them to touch me.
"When I read Edward's mind and learned that you were pure, I knew we were going to fight about who would take your virginity." Sulpicia said and even though I knew it wasn't possible, I could have sworn all three of their eyes grew into an even darker shade of black, which had me moving my hips.
Both Sulpicia and Dora moved their hands that had stilled on my thighs, to my hips to keep them from moving. I was now completely immobile and it was killing me.
"There were a few times we had almost broken into a physical fight about who would get the honor." Didyme said as she sent a scolding look to both Dora and Sulpicia that suggested it was those two who almost fought each. I was sure though that Didyme was probably close to fighting herself and probably would have gotten just as close if those two hadn't started with each other first.
"Didyme said we should allow you to choose." Dora said and before I could complain about that being a bad idea she quickly added, "We could never make you choose between us though."
Dora and Sulpicia started to slowly scratch my hips with their nails and even though I had started to calm down from all that had me feeling, I was quickly started to get turned on again. Didyme pulled both my hands so that she could hold them with one hand above my head. I could actually feel the heat on my hands from her crotch I hadn't thought there would be heat there. Before my mind decided to stop analyzing anything, I realized that the venom racing in her body was more than likely the cause of the little heat I felt from her.
"So instead, all three of us will take it." Sulpicia said with a slight growl. All three of them were looking at me expectantly, probably making sure that I agreed with them.
"Yes." Was all I could to come out of my mouth. The feeling from Sulpicia's and Dora's hands, plus the feeling on my hands from Didyme, it was difficult to be able to come up with anything coherent to say. That was all that was needed to be said though.
When I had first entered my bedroom tonight, I knew something like this was going to happen. I knew and I was excited and nervous for it to happen. I wanted it to happen, I wanted to have sex with them; it just felt like the right and natural thing to do. I didn't want to delay it any longer. With all three of them here and now, with all of us practically naked, I couldn't help but mentally scold myself for ever thinking that I wasn't meant for them or them for me. As the three of them worked, I couldn't since Dora and Sulpicia kept me pinned down and Dora kept my hands firmly grasped, to remove the last of our clothes, I couldn't help but feel an intense feeling of… of, rightness. Everything felt right, everything felt perfect; I couldn't imagine having sex for the first time any other way. They were perfect.
A/N: So, I don't think I need to move the rating up to 'M', I don't think I wrote enough detail to do that, but I could be wrong. If it needs to be 'M' can someone please PM and tell me so I don't get trouble? Thanks.
